Dive between two tectonic plates in Iceland’s Silfra Fissure, where the crystal-clear waters offer visibility of over 100 meters. This unique underwater adventure lets you literally swim between continents, as the North American and Eurasian plates drift apart beneath you. The icy water, fed by glacial melt, is pure enough to drink and adds an extra chill to the thrill. With its otherworldly beauty, this dive is a surreal experience that blends science and adventure.
